Hours before President Barack Obama holds a town hall-style event in Cannon Falls, the Mitt Romney campaign released a video of Minnesotans who say they’ll vote for a change in 2012.

The video features a handful of suburban Minnesotans discussing the poor economy and saying Obama should be focused on creating jobs instead of traveling the country. It ends with a montage of the speakers saying, “welcome to Minnesota, President Obama.”

The Romney camp has released a few of these web ads before high-profile Obama stops recently, all carrying the tagline, “Obama isn’t working.” The campaign calls Obama’s Midwest economic bus tour this week “the Magical Misery bus tour.”

Here’s the ad:
